Ibrahim Sultan (1394–1435), grandson of Timur and governor of Shiraz, was a patron of the book arts and an accomplished calligrapher in his own right. This Qur'an manuscript, executed in an elegant naskh script, was written by the ruler himself, signed and dated to June 1427. Ibrahim Sultan is said to have copied at least five manuscripts of the Qur'an and to have composed the calligraphic inscriptions for two schools he established in Shiraz.

Inscription: In Arabic (vol. 2, folio 268b): "This exalted book, i.e. the glorious Qur'an, which was written by the grandson of the most magnificent sultan of the age and the greatest emperor of the era, Sultan Ibrahim son of Mirza Shahrukh son of (Amir Timur Lord of the Conjunction) (may [God] cause them to dwell in highest paradise), has been entrusted to my safe-keeping, and I resort to the stronghold of His all-encompassing grace and the intercession of His Apostle when He resurrects bones to ashes. Aurangzeb son of the sultan of sultans, Most Just of Emperors, Shihab al-Din Muhammad [Shah Jahan Padishah Ghazi] the Second Lord of the Conjunction (may his kingdom and power last forever) in the months of the year 1048 of the hegira..."
